Hakeem Nicks (6-1, 212) gives the Giants the wide receiver they needed, he can come in and start right away. Another strength is that he has a knack for making "circus catches" which is much needed when playing in the windy Meadowlands.

Round Two, Pick 45: Clint Sintim, OLB, Virginia

Clint Sintim (6-3, 256) gives the Giants the linebacker they badly needed. Sintim will come in and more than likely start on day one. He will play strong side linebacker opposite free agent pickup Michael Boley.

Round Two, Pick 60: William Beatty, OT, UConn

William Beatty (6-6, 307) brings offensive line depth and a project.

Currently David Diehl and Kareem McKenzie are the starting tackles and although Beatty will put pressure on them for the starting job, more than likely he'll stay on the bench and play "swing tackle".

This pick more than likely means the end of the road for Guy Whimper on another benched tackle.

Round Three, Pick 85: Ramses Barden, WR, Cal Poly

Ramses Barden (6-6, 229) is a raw talent and has the potential to be a Plaxico Burress type player for the Giants.

After playing at Cal Poly he went unnoticed until the Mustangs took on the Wisconsin Badgers, in which Barden had a stellar game that showed scouts he wasn't just a "jump up and get it" type wideout.

I expect Barden to be the starter of the future along side Hakeem Nicks but for now he'll be the third or fourth guy.

Round Three, Pick 100: Travis Beckum, TE, Wisconsin

Travis Beckum (6-3, 243) is a god awful blocker, and will not do any of that in New York. Instead he'll play on the offensive line and just catch passes (i.e. he'll play halfback) and he's a nice compliment to blocking tight end Kevin Boss.

Round Four, Pick 129: Andre Brown, RB, NC State

Andre Brown (6-0, 124) will bring his injuries to New York as he had two surgeries in 2007 for a fractured foot, but the Giants don't seem to be too worried about it. He will compete with Danny Ware for the third spot in this year's "Earth, Wind, and Fire."

Round Five, Pick 151: Rhett Bomar, QB, Sam Houston State

Rhett Bomar (6-2, 225) brings "speed" and a big arm to the Giants.

I guess this is the best the Giants could do in this weak senior quarterback class but after putting up 340 yards against Kansas this season he should be a quality backup for the Giants and will compete with David Carr for that job.

Round Six, Pick 200: DeAndre Wright, CB, New Mexico

DeAndre Wright (5-11, 198) is a solid cover corner, but has a small frame and had surgery on both shoulders this offseason.

He will most likely have to fight for one of the last roster spots and I personally believe he'll beat out Rashad Barksdale (practice squad guy last year) and fellow draft pick Stoney Woodson for the fifth cornerback spot.

Round Seven, Pick 238: Stoney Woodson, CB, South Carolina

Stoney Woodson (5-11, 197) has poor size and poor speed and I doubt he'll make a career in the NFL. He's most likely camp fodder and a probable practice squad member.

Undrafted Free Agents

New York has signed six undrafted free agents so far: defensive ends Maurice Evans and Alex Field, linebacker Kenny Ingram, safeties Sha'reff Rashard and Otis Wiley, and cornerback Vince Anderson.
